THE MORXING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTE3IBER 10, 1909. 12 NEGRO CHAMPION AND FIGHTER WHOM HE TROUNCED SEVERELY YESTERDAY JQHNSQN HANDLES KAMI EASILY Black Wan Has the Goods on Blacksmith in a 10 Round Go. NEGRO NEVER IN DISTRESS California!! Cut to Pieces fcy the Champion White I'nable to Ijind a Telling Blow. African Hlswd. COFFROTH S ARENA. San Francisco. Sept. . In on of the most unique battles In ring history. Jack Johnson, the world's champion, was accredited with a "news paper" decision over Al Kaufmann at the end of ten rounds of fighting this after noon at Coffroth's arena. According to the articles of agreement, if both men were on their feet when ten rounds had been fought, no decision was to be given. Referee Eddie Smith, however, stated to the newspaper men after the contest that Johnson had both outfought and out boxed the Callfomlan at every stase of the contest and therefore was entitled to a verdict. Smith gave out this state ment: "Johnson outfoupht, outhlt and out generaled Kaufmann all through the fight. Ha fought in his usual, natural, patient way and I think that he did not hold back. In the ninth round, as well as In some of the earlier ones, he tried hard to finish his opponent. Kaufmann forced Johnson hard In the seventh and ninth rounds and landed some good bodyblows. He, however, was no match for the cham pion." Lack or Enthusiasm. Never before has such a lack of en thusiasm been displayed over a contest between the big men of the ring, and this feeling Is reflected in an almost stagnant betting market. Betting on the big contest was apa thetic. Johnson ruled favorite at the ringside at odds of 10 to 4. but little money changed hands at these figures. A number of wasers were registered at 2 to 1 that the Californlan would be on his feet at the end of the tenth round. Kaufmann weiKhed In this morning at ariout 26 pounds, while the champion tipped the beam at S3. Roscoe Taylor, of Seattle, and Tommy McCarthy, a local ring satellite, were to have fought a 15-round preliminary. Keferee Tiv Kreling stopped the prelim inary In the 11th round and awarded the verdict to McCarthy. It was a most spretacular bout. f 1 -!. i-a-A lflmAnPM.

He employed tantalizing and forceful right uppercuts with such fre quency that th? erstwhile blacksmith was fairly" bewildered. Early in the contest his face begun to show signs of the cl'.ar.ipion'!- stirglng punches and In the third round. a well-directed wallop siarted the blood flowing from, Kauf mann's face in a stream. On the other hand Kaufmann showed himself clumsy bv comparison and his footwork waa amateurish. It was not until the seventh round that one of his powerful swings' found refuge in the champion's stomach and it was this punch that caused the smile which Johnson had worn up to this time to vanteh. All through th contest Johnson ap--peared to be holding himself in reserve and it took constant Jibing by the specta tors and an occasional punch from the blacksmith to start him going. And when he did let go he played with Kauf mann as If tiie latter were a mere tot. Johnson's best blow was a right uppercut at clone range. Kaufmann Lands One. In the ninth round Kaufmann . found the champion's stomach with a vicious right awing. It was Kaufmann's best blow and it made Johnson more careful. The champion slowed down perceptibly after this and he did not display the same dash in the concluding round that characterized his earlier work. The fight proved one thing conclusive lythat Kaufmann has no business in short round affairs such as today's con test. He appeared to gain strength as the battle progressed, while on the other hand Johnson, who apparently had trained none too well, began to show signs of weakening. Johnson gave out the following state meat to the press after the battle, while he was busily engaged in schoolboy antics in his corner: I found Kaufmann a harder fighter than I expected. I thought I had him twice, but each time he came back ap parently fresh. I consider Kaufmann a good man, strong and with some clever ness, but I haven't the slightest doubt that I could put him out in 20 rounds." Kaufmann had this to say: Expected Defeat. "It was a I expected: I could not beat Johnson in ten rounds. I never was daxed or distressed, and I know now that in & finish fight I surely can beat him. Johnson plainly grew weaker in the rlnth and tenth rounds, while I was as stong as at any time during the fight." Kaufmann entered the ring at S:52 o'clock and Johnson appeared a moment later. The crowd hooted the black cham pion as he walked down the aisle and stepped over the ropes. Kaufmann was received with cheers. Kaufmann was Introduced as a native son of the Golden Wert. Then Johnson was presented and there was a renewal of hoots from -the crowd. At 3 P. M. there was not a vacant seat In either the gallery or the reserved sec tion. A fringe of humanity stood in the extreme rear of the gallery seats. Johnson looked a bit fat as he posed, while Kaufmann appeared to be in fine shape. Tne ring was cleared and the mn mere celled at S.04 P. M. THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS. Round One. Johnson opened the battle with a well placed left hook to the stomach. The men then mixed at close range. Johnson landing risht and left short-arm punches to the Jaw. J.ihnsnn smiled and shot riitht and left to the face. Kaufmann looked a bit worried at this stage and spaj-red for fully half a minute. Johnson closed In, landing short arm rights and lefts to the head. There was little stlna; In them, howfwr. Just be fore the round ended. Kaufmann shot a straight left to the Jaw, but the champion only smiled. Kaufmann seemed very slow In comparison with Johnson. Round Two. Johnson wrestled Kaufmann against the ropes and a moment later drove a straight left to the face. He followed this with a left to the bidy and then quickly brought the same member to the blacksmith's Jaw. Kaufmann appeared a bit at sea. and as yet had not been able to locate the black'a anatomv. They closed in and Johnson rocked Kaufmann's head with Ineffective short arm swings. Johnson rushed Kaufmann Into a corner, but inflicted no damage. John- . ' ' - 1 ' ' ' ' - I .

Thev rushed In close, Johnson driving a wicked Irft to the Jaw, which he followed with a hard clout to the stomach. Johnson then uppercut twice wltU his rlpfht to the jaw and mouth and the blood spouted from Kaufmann's bleeding: face and forced the blacksmith to stall. Johnson taunted Kauf mann good-naturedly and varied this with two fearful jolts' to the Jaw. The bell ranjr and Al tumbled Into his chair with blood flowing in a veritable stream from Ins mouth and nose. It mas apparent that Johnson was Kaufmann's master and could finish him at such time as he was ready to cut loose. Round Four. Kaufmann. after sparring-, drove a hard riKht to the nomach. This nettled the cham pion and he quickly beat the Callforman against the rope, planting- right and left to the jaw. After come clinching Kaufmann drve his riht to the stomach and Johnwn Krtnned and winked at his second, both m?n cased up. Kaufmann seldom leading Tie rcund end-d tamely and It looked as if Jt.hnron deliberately slowed up. I'p t thi! eiase Kaufmann failed to lead and had landed but two punches both to the stomach. Hound Mve. The men fought at c!o quarters and John son uppercut twice with right. lifting Kauf mann's head a foot In the air. Johnson was quickness and nlmblenese peraonined. The champion drove right and left to the stomach and had Kaufmann constantly on the aefen sive. Kaufmann made two lamentably weak efforts to land and the fighters shuffled around the ring- without any serious damage being inflicted. Round. tSlz. Kaufmann was short with a left lead and the men clinched. Johnson sent the Califor nlan almoM Into the pre stand with left hook to the bedy and a right crow? to the Jaw. "Mix it. Al." the crowd yelled, and Al did so. But he found J.ihnsoi. T-alting Tor him and the latur showed that he fs mas ter of the ritual Ion at any style of flghJag that Kaufmann could bring to him. The i lund closed with Ineffectual exchanges and Jl hi) son having everything his own way. Round Seven. Kaufmann tried with left for the jaw. but li was so easily blocked thnt the crowd was forced to y-ll derUlvely. Kaufmann fought Id cIojw. but ntt a blow landed, the black man mnotherlng every attempt like a "killed fighter. Kaufmann planted a right and left to the stomach. A long clinch followed, during which Johnson held back and cut loose alter nately. It was apparent that Johnson was holding blmeelf in reserve. Round Eight Johnson opened up the round with a straight left to the Jaw and as the men closed in the big black swung right and left with considerable force to the Jaw and mouth. Kaufman backed away, seidom. If ever, lead ing. de?plte instructions of hta advisers. Johnson again started the blood from Kauf mann 'a mouth with hard right and left arm wines. As1 Kaufmann closed In Johnson uppercut twice to the jaw with hi left, for which he was rebuked by a hard right hook t- the stomach, about the first blow Kauf mann had landed. Johnson kept up an.'lnces sant exchange of bantering with the crowd during the minute' respite. Round Nine. Kaufmann forced the amll from Johnson face by clouting him In the stomach with a pile-driving right. For a fleeting moment the black fought back a hit wildly. He quickly regained his composure, however, and sent right and left with great for-e to the Jaw. With the return of Johnson's -mile he drove Kaufmann againrt the ropes and landed twice with long lefts. The round ended with the crowd Jeering Johnson and some of the spectators started to leave the Round Ten. After considerable sparring Johnson hooked his right to the Jaw. Kaufmann came back and landed right and left to the face as they mixed in the center of the ring. After jonn- son, goaaea on oy inwe pumnw, silff lft to the face. Kaufmann isnded twice on the bodv with t're left. A moment later he sent a hard right to the stomach and the rrfn mixed it without rlamng. The crowd jerred. Th? round and fight ended with both men slugging Ineffectively at each other. I v- 1 1 -t v-) UN DV L PARADE ' Race Results at Chehalls. CHEHALI9. Wash., Sept. . (Speclaa.)

Parade That Would Do Much to Advertise Fair at Country Club Grounds. A public street parade the like of which Portland has never seen Is being planned by the Portland Fair and Live stock Association in connection with the coming- meet, week after next. It Is now clear that there will be consid erably more than 81,000,000 worth of livestock, horses, cattle, sheep, swine, goats and harness racers entered In the lists for the exposition, and the management hopes to be able to con duct a free exhibition of all this array of stock through the business portion of the city as an inducement to make Portland day, Wednesday, September 22, the biggest celebration since the Lewis and Clark Fair. The matter is now being taken up with the principal exhibitors, not only from Oregon, but from California, Idaho, Washington, British Columbia, Montana and the Middle Western States. They are being asked to a.Ilow their en tries, whether in races or show ring, to be put into this big novel pageant, and there Is already some assurance that such a procession can be held some forenoon early in the week. Most of the exhibitors and horsemen have chartered their own stock cars, and all that will be necessary to hold this interesting parade will be to arrange with the O. R. & N. and Southern Pa cific to have the stock cars run into town and the stock disentralned on Fourth street at some central point and formed Into line. Nothing like this has ever been at tempted heretofore, but It is felt by the Portland Fair people that it will be the most impressive way of demonstrating to the general public the intrinsic and prospective value and importance of the livestock industry in the North west. Everybody knows of Rosa Bon heur's famous painting, "The County Fair," and this is serving as an inspira tion for the movement now under way. It is believed that in no other way can such a strong impression be created. The great circuses which from time to time visit Portland give street parades which are supposed to represent invest ments of close to a million, but they are shown for the purpose of getting people to attend the shows and take the money out of town. On the other hand, the only object in having the proposed pageant by the Portland Fair people is to demonstrate the possibility of developing the livestock Industry in Oregon and the Northwest. The programme committee for Fra ternity day, Tuesday. September 21, met at the Commercial Club at noon yesterday ami completed details for the programme which will be presented to the general committee at a meeting to be held at the same place tonight at 8 o'clock. More than 0 of the fraternal societies of Portland have committees acting in conjunction with the commit tee In chief, and prizes will be offered to the organization showing the biggest representation according 2 to member ship. Ladies' day, which comes on Friday of the exposition week, is worrying the management. They want suggestions. They are desirous of bringing out the largest feminine attendance possible, and will arrange for . a programme which, it is expected, will appeal to the fair sex. Sentiment as expressed by a number of the leading business men of the city indicates that there will be little difficulty in securing a half-holiday for Portland day, Wednesday, of the meet. The general committee will meet and complete plans as soon as President Wehrung returns from Seattle, which will be within the next day or two. Children's day plans are well along. With the scheme of giving free admis sion to all public school pupils on Sat urday, the last day of the meet, it Is confidently believed that an attendance of from 15,000 to 20,000 can be attained on that day. Special events on the race card will be reserved for that day as a treat for the youngsters, and at the same time a list of extra features will be prepared for the "Home Stretch," the amusement feature.
